The idea of establishing a school foundation was first discussed in 1990 by Peter Whitcomb (then principal), Marika Smith (commissioner), Gloria Tr国产99热panier (school committee), Margaret Kovacs, Aline Visser and Phyllis Robinson (teachers). 

The foundation was formed in 1991 thanks to the work of George Bey (Marika Smith's brother), and applied for charitable status in 1992 under the name: Le Fond de l'Education Anglaise de Thetford Mines.

The St-Patrick's Elementary School and A.S. Johnson Memorial School Foundation became a reality on January 1, 1993, thanks to the generous assistance of Marika Bey Smith and George Bey.

The current chair is Peter Whitcomb.
